The Bulova Snorkel watch, a revered name in the world of timepieces, made its debut during the 1960s, a period rich with innovation in dive watches. Bulova, already a renowned American watchmaker, recognized the growing demand for robust, water-resistant timepieces suited for underwater exploration. The Snorkel, initially part of the esteemed "Oceanographer" line, stood out with its distinctively bold design and exceptional functionality, featuring a wide, unidirectional bezel and luminous markers for optimal underwater visibility.

What's on Offer

I have yet to find another one of these watches in such fine condition! We are delighted to offer this Bulova Snorkel for sale in such pristine condition. Nicknamed the 'Devil Diver' due to it's 666ft depth resistance, the Snorkel has become a very collectable piece and this one is an incredible example! The sunburst silver dial is blemish-free and retains its original lume on the hour plots and there is also original lume on the Dauphine hands. The dial is encapsulated underneath a shatterproof Plexiglas crystal and encased in steel. The coin-edged bezel is in exemplary condition and to the case back you will note the Bulova waterproof emblem and an engraving of the number 1.168715. The watch is offered for sale with its original box and outer box making it a great purchase and very collectable. Don't miss this one!
